July 1st about:Mozilla Issue: Protect Net Neutrality, Safe Browsing for Domestic Violence Survivors, and more…

The Web as we know it is under attack by policymakers who want to restrict access to our most important public resource.

If we stand by and do nothing, the Web will become increasingly closed and centralized, designed to serve the few and not the many.

The proposed new policies set a frightening precedent that will ring world-wide. Mozilla wants the Internet to be free and open, but we need your help.

• Sign Mozilla’s petition to protect Net Neutrality.
• Want to learn more about Net Neutrality? Watch Vi Hart’s video explaining what will happen if we don’t act now to protect the Web.
• Dave Steer’s blog post tells you how Mozilla is fighting for Net Neutrality.

The Internet is an integral part of modern life, and Mozilla believes that everyone should feel safe while browsing. To that end, we are partnering with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) to create a guide for domestic violence survivors to stay private and secure while using the Web.

We are looking for contributors with video, writing, and editing skills who are interested in volunteering between now and July 28th.

Learn more about the project and find out how you can get involved.

An industrial engineering student from the Philippines, Faye Tandog went to her first local Mozilla event in 2011, where she was inspired by the passionate community. She says, “Mozilla… welcomes people from all industries and provides unlimited opportunities in various community aspects… Mozilla made me discover my passion for organizing things where I can train and help develop skills of people.”

Faye’s favorite part of contributing is the global community. She describes her Mozilla community as a “family” because they can speak their minds and work together in the open.

Faye contributes mostly by running local events forWoMoz (Women in Mozilla) and the Philippines Webmaker community as well as organizes for the Firefox Student Ambassadors program. Faye’s hard work has paid off: this month, she became the new Mozilla Philippines Community Manager!

Congratulations on your success, Faye, and thank you for being a community advocate!
